"Mount Holyoke, a women’s college in Massachusetts, is discouraging professors from using the word “women.”

According to their website, Mount Holyoke is a WOMEN's college. And they are honoring WOMEN's history month on their website. No wonder their students can't concentrate on what they're saying!

Id say just give each student a number and use that to identify them but then there would be outcry over 50% of the students being labelled as odd. Welcome to Play the Game! Not sure what it is but everyone loses and nobody wins.

The power of education corrupting society can never be underestimated.
It producing idiots and sending them out to screw up everything they come in contact with.

In before the first claim that criticism of this is overreacting.

The guidelines were put in place in 2017 to prevent students from being subject to various forms of “disrespect” — for example, when professors mispronounce students’ names or misgender them. “Students who are worried about not being treated with respect can’t concentrate on what we’re saying,” the guidelines state.
This weird blending of radical feminism, snowflakeyness and urban street attitude over disrespect is the Democratic Party in a nutshell.

They probably have nothing better to do in a Liberal Arts College in Massachusetts.
